stretch

this is how we roll...




stretch limo. ya got that right. if you click on the pic and look close, you'll notice the courvoisier and hennessy on the right. we popped off a few rounds of custom titanium hollow-backs out the window to make sure other vehicles kept a respectable distance. we prefer barium salts in our tracers for a more exotic look. it calms the baby too, the loud banging noise. if the driver tries to speak, up goes that window... if he wants to talk we can do it over the intercom, we dont like to raise our voices.

Here's the real scoop. We used to take the #194 to the #5, and voila, $1.50 and your at home from the airport in +1 hour. Bus is now out of the question, with the kid we have a logistical supply line that would make Patton blanch. You can take the slow road to misanthropy, that frickin sagwagon, the Shuttle Express. Whatever $5 you save with them over a taxi, you pay with heavy opportunity costs, don't get us started on the shuttle. So we are left with the taxi, $45. We just learned that if you go up to the limo queue, you can bargain them down to the taxi price. These are older limos, the kind corporations put middle managers in to make them feel like big-shots, the same limos that high school kids are hurling in over the weekend.

This is probably old news to some of you, but it was our first limo ride, was super convenient, and the novelty factor really made it worth it. Fun for us plebes.
